Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

I would like to extend my sympathy to our friends in New Zealand and Australia who have lost love ones. I pray you may know the peace of God at this time of loss.

Heartfelt condolences to my buddies across the Tasman and the families who have lost loved ones. I hope that those that died were not sacrificed because of greed or wrongdoing, that this tragedy is just an unfortunate accident.

Rest In Peace.

Warm Regards,
Mojo

I'd like to join you all with condolences. It's a sad outcome and a very, very sad loss of life. One of those lost was from here - the Fraser Coast.

Maybe some lessons might be learnt from this disaster - like all countries and areas having a good rescue service with the right equipment, instead of having to wait for it to come from other states or countries - as in Chile and now in New Zealand. The longer a rescue has to go on, the less chance of survival.

Such a sad waste of life - such a sad ending.
Regards

Taffy.
